What Is a Woman

What makes a girl? Is it not “sugar and spice and all things nice”? What makes a woman? Oh…all that and so much more A woman is made of sugar…sweet to the taste Spice…Oh…she can burn your tongue and soul All things nice? Hmmmm… Things….let me define them for you... The warmth of her body The warmth of her soul Her nurturing heart How she makes a man whole Her soft curvy form Her luscious sweet lips Her pillowy bosom Her curvaceous hips Her eyes that can speak In many a way Her hands that massage All the worries away Strength that bears The pain of giving birth How she puts herself down To give you more worth She is wispy and dreamy Ethereal, unreal Sent from above To make a man feel She is a seductress Who can be a friend She is the strong one On whom to depend Who can define her? She is beyond all this… The mystery of life Is contained in her kiss!!! Now…..For the glimpse of her other side!! I’m posting an old poem of mine, Warrior Princess. Yes, women can HUNT as well! Read them and Weep. The Warrior Princess Don’t think me fragile, quick to break No, don’t ever make that mistake My warrior spirit’s deep and strong I can avenge when faced with wrong I am the Warrior Princess I gallop on my mighty steed Brandish my sword, fulfill my need What my eyes crave, I swoop to take No human dares this heart to break I’m the Warrior Princess With mad abandon, I make love With eagle talons, I’m no dove I subjugate, and I command Full surrender to each demand I’m the Warrior Princess When you think me supple and weak The fire in my eyes will speak I play a role, capture your soul I dominate not part but whole I am the Warrior Princess In my veins the power to rule No man can play me for a fool Yes, he may think my heart is won But can you hold the blazing sun? I’m the Warrior Princess My fierce passion, you cannot match Your body from her bed I’ll snatch Ravish you till I’ve had my fill Might let you live or I might kill FOR I’M THE WARRIOR PRINCESS Eileen Manassian Ghali You can never DEFINE a woman!

The warrior Princess is back! You are right a woman is impossible to capture with mere words. I applaude this attempt, you have certainly enticed and captured my mind in the process.

Yes...we woman must nurture the Warrior Princess in all of us. That poem was born out of a comment that a student made to me that I remind him of XENA! I'm no where like her, but it did give me a nice warm glow! Hugs!

Wowzer! Both superb writes!! A woman is a gift from God, she shares her life, love and bod ! Yet let her be savagely betrayed, the guy had better hope to ONLY BE flayed!

My Mother taught me well, to never underestimate a woman's ferocity or her sensitivity. I do not try to define women, I just do my best to love them Eileen. You battle hard, a worthy opponent for sure. " Yes, he may think my heart is won, but can you hold the bazing Sun..." Fantastic poetry! J.A.B.

Loving them is best, Justin. No matter how ferocious and fierce a woman may appear to be, in her there is that need to be treated like a fragile and gentle flower. She decides which face to show...whichever one she does....she needs love.

Glad you enjoy your time, here, JS. Anonymous...it is not. We know a great deal about each other on this site. Some of my friends here are closer to my heart than my flesh and blood friends.

writing is my occupation and poetry is my curse. I feel fortunate to be able to write for a living, because it is incredibly easy...but the words won't leave me alone. I enjoy this room for the honest feedback which is difficult to find in a face to face setting. In here, it is practically anonymous.

Depends on what you're passionate about. I've see you about quite a lot as well...AND your poems are floating about. It seems you have plenty of time as well. Think the Man upstairs knows what he is doing. Thanks for the visit.
